Tuesday Links
* Want to know why I’m still technically undecided? This. I’m actually going to a Bob Barr campaign event tonight, and I’m hoping to ask him about the judiciary, as that’s really the only reason McCain’s still on my radar.
* I had to laugh seeing how two stories popped up around the same time: The Rasmussen poll showing that nearly half the nation believes the media is trying to help Obama win comes the same day as the New York Times turning down McCain’s Iraq op-ed after publishing Obama’s. Even if the NYT was 100% right in their denial of the op-ed, it’s simply too funny not to highlight the two in the same sentence. The NYT editor response is a fascinating read anyway, even if McCain’s alleged op-ed leaves me kind of cold. Still, way to go, media.
* If “tax progressivity” is your issue of choice, the Bush tax cuts did the trick.
* I’ve said elsewhere, if not here, that this election is likely to have 1976 ramifications. This is a pretty good article on that.
* Wardrobe malfunction fine tossed. Anything to kick the FCC in the mouth is a good thing in my mind. How’s that satellite merger coming again?
* I wouldn’t be the least bit shocked if most of my readership has a negative view on Grover Norquist, but he’s started the “Leave Us Alone” coalition, which really speaks to me on a level very few political organizations do. Here’s a really good interview with him through Reason.
* Excuse the Fox link, it was the easiest transcript I could find of Obama’s somewhat embarrassing foriegn policy interview.
* McCain’s latest ad. Not the strongest, but still an issue McCain is firmly correct on. I think the end line on these ads is better than anything else that he can offer, though.
* Also, this should make an Obama supporter wince.
* Finally, The 11 Best Star Wars Remakes.
